I am a minister, a technophile, and a Mac user so naturally I have the premiere Bible software available for the Mac (read: only Bible software available for the Mac), Accordance.

My wife can’t understand why I get so excited about this stuff. When she asked me what I wanted for my 24th birthday I didn’t hesitate. “Oooooh, can I please get this really awesome Bible software,” I said enthusiastically. After she relized that I wasn’t kidding, she looked real disappointed that I asked for something so practical. However, that April she bought me the Library 6 collection and I have since added a module here or there. In fact I added a level this past weekend. I installed the new Personal Growth Suite by Zondervan. The suite includes the TNIV Bible and quite a few tools for Bible study (Discipleship, Fruits of the Spirit, and Men/Women of the Bible studies).

I love Accardance. I have roughly twenty Bibles at my fingertips, not to mention all the comentaries, Greek lexicons, and historical texts a guy could ask for. The program really has hellped me become a better lover of scripture. Someday, I’ll get the Essential IVP Reference Collection. Right now though I’m excited about the next official update.

Library 7 is a few weeks away from being released. The official blog has been posting some screencaps and secret goodies to whet our appetites. For the one or two of you who care, check out the new features.
